On the first day of September in the ninth year of the Xuanli calendar, it rained lightly along the river.
Many great things happened in the world on this day.
For example, the Empress Wu of the Dynasty entrusted all state affairs to the two prime ministers because of her illness.
It was also on this day that Her Majesty moved out of the Yangxin Palace and moved into the Jinghu Villa. The reason was simple—
Fu Xiaoguan is dead. This place was originally a royal villa, but now it has no owner. The empress also likes the quiet environment here very much, so naturally she can live in it.
Ning Siyan was still the concierge of Jinghu Villa, but after Wu Zhao moved in, he never saw her come out again.
This place was heavily blocked by the 5,000 Blood-Clothed Guards led by Tang Qianjun. Ning Siyan believed that not even a fly could fly in.
Two major events also occurred in the Yu Dynasty on this day:
Under the leadership of the eldest prince, the eastern border army, together with the southern border general Yu Chunqiu who came to assist, drove the troops of the Yi State general Feng Xianchu out of the Baishui River.
Now the two armies are facing each other across the river, and both are continuing to send reinforcements to this area, with the potential to stain Ximayuan with blood.
But another event in the Yu Dynasty did not spread as wildly as this great victory. It came quietly, like a small stone gently dropped into the water, without even a ripple.
Emperor Xuan issued an edict, conferring the title of King Jin on the Fourth Prince Yu Wenshu, with his fief in Xihuang Xirong Prefecture, and ordering him to leave the capital immediately!
Western Wasteland...
Xirong Mansion...!
Your Majesty's eldest son, Yu Wentian, will spend his entire life in battle and will never return to the capital.
His Majesty sent the Fourth Prince to the Western Wilderness, which was almost exile in the eyes of many ministers. The Fourth Prince had been very well-behaved in the past six months. Could it be that he had done something behind the scenes to provoke His Majesty?
Then, Your Majesty, the only one left in the power center of Shangjing City is the fifth prince Yu Wendao!
Queen Shang is Yu Wendao’s mother... Therefore, the Eastern Palace of the Yu Dynasty will probably fall into the hands of the Fifth Prince.
This is a battle for the crown prince. The Fourth Prince has been operating in Shangjing City for many years. Although he is gone, his heart is probably still beating in Shangjing City!
Naturally, many small things happened that day.
For example, a beautiful woman descended from the Sword Forest, carrying a long sword on her back, and arrived at Linjiang. She visited the Linjiang Academy, then spent an incense stick's worth of time at the Wind-Moving Stone near the Academy halfway up the mountain. Then, she returned to Linjiang and went to Xishui Lane, southeast of Linjiang City. She spent ten breaths at the gate of Zhang's residence, and thirty breaths at the gate of Fu's residence.
Then she went to Xu Fuji and bought a bottle of Xishan Tianchun, and then came to the bank of the Yangtze River. She drank while looking at the rolling water of the Yangtze River. She drank for a long time and looked for a long time.
She didn't finish the wine, so she poured the rest into the Yangtze River, as if she was paying tribute to someone.
Another example is the Divine Swords, who had trained in Fenglin Mountain for over half a year and disappeared into the vast wilderness without alerting anyone. When they reappeared, they had transformed into escorts, escorting the Xishan Express's grain shipment northward.
For example, Dong Shulan, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, took a carriage to the Fu Mansion in Linjiang on this day and happened to pass by the woman in white carrying a long sword.
…
…
Dong Shulan and Chunxiu got off the carriage.
She looked at the receding figure again and asked Chunxiu, "Did you see clearly who she is?"
Chunxiu shook her head, and Dong Shulan frowned slightly. She always felt that she seemed to have seen that person somewhere, but she couldn't remember where at the moment.
She walked into the gate of the Fu Mansion and went straight to the courtyard of the main house.
Yesterday I heard from the steward of Xishan Villa that Qi came to the villa and wanted to check all the accounts. Of course, this is not possible!
It has been almost half a month since Qi was turned away.
It was obvious that Dong Shulan had firmly controlled the West Mountain area by some means. She, the second mistress of the Fu family, couldn't even see the account books!
That bitch Dong Shulan actually hid herself!
She waited in the Xishan Villa for five full days, but not only did she not see anyone, she didn't even get any news - no one in Xishan knew where Dong Shulan had gone!
This is simply ridiculous!
This is clearly making fun of me!
So Qi was very angry when she returned to Fu Mansion in Linjiang!
The other five families also felt very angry after hearing this.
Qu Linglong, who married Fu Daguan because she liked Fu Xiaoguan, has now grown from a girl into a woman. Naturally, she has set her mind on her husband Fu Daguan.
For Fu Xiaoguan...it was really ridiculous at the time.
Fu Xiaoguan won great honor for the Fu family, which made her very happy, but this joy had nothing to do with feelings, but was related to the reputation of the Fu family.
Now that Fu Xiaoguan is dead, the whereabouts of the chubby and adorable old man are unknown. How can Dong Shulan, a woman who has not yet married into the family, control the lifeblood of the Fu family?
The moment Dong Shulan stepped into the Fu Mansion, the six wives, who had originally had quite a distance between them, actually united together.
There is only one purpose - to make Dong Shulan hand over all the account books and never allow her to interfere in any business of the Fu family again!
Dong Shulan was sitting in front of the big round table, and Chunxiu was standing behind her feeling extremely nervous.
The wives of the sixth room also sat around the big round table. There was no tea or lunch prepared.
Dong Shulan's face was serious. She glanced at the Sixth Lady, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she was the first to speak:
"I heard you were looking for me, and it seemed quite urgent. I'm very busy, unlike you who are living a life of luxury here, so I'll be polite to you later. If you're looking for me about the Xishan business, then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. The Xishan business was built by my husband, and you have no right to interfere."
Qi slammed the table with a "Pa...!" sound. "Although you are the daughter of the Shangshu, you have never married into the Fu family. What right do you have to manage the Fu family's property? Besides, Fu Xiaoguan is dead. What you should do now is to find a good husband as soon as possible, instead of plotting to seize the Fu family's wealth!"
Dong Shulan frowned and slammed the table. She stood up suddenly and stared at Qi: "You said that's the property of the Fu family?"
"Isn't it?" Qi also stood up, and the two of them started to argue.
"Don't you know that Fu Xiaoguan is Emperor Wen's son?"
"you……!"
"He's Emperor Wen's son! What's his relationship with the Fu family? I'll explain it to you right now!" Dong Shulan extended her arms. "My husband, Fu Xiaoguan, respects you because you're his concubines. He once told me that the Fu family will support you and your descendants until they grow up."
"This is Fu Xiaoguan's way of repaying Fu Daguan for his kindness in raising him, but what about you? Did you hear that he was dead? Is he really dead? What if he's still alive?"
Dong Shulan was very angry. She took out the marriage certificate written by His Majesty from her sleeve pocket and slammed it on the table.
"This is the marriage certificate written by His Majesty himself and backed up by the Imperial Observatory. How dare you ask me to find another husband?"
"Do you know that you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"You're not a good idle wife anymore, and you're trying to seize my husband's property. Let me tell you...!"
Dong Shulan glanced at everyone fiercely, "If you want to live a comfortable life, just be your idle wife, otherwise..."
She smiled contemptuously and turned away.
"Otherwise, you won't get a penny!"
